Sunpentown SD-46T 46 Pint Low Temp Dehumidifier with TiO2 & UV Light are ideal for someone who...
Needs a low temperature dehumidifier for a smaller bedroom, office or basement up to 200 square feet.
Wants an easy to use dehumidifier with UV light to sanitize the room by eliminating germs and bacteria.
Prefers a dehumidifier with an internal adjustable humidistat.
Would like several water removal options - choose from collection bucket or a gravity drain hose attachment for continuous discharge. (Please note the continuous drainage hose is not included and requires a size of 1/2 inch ID (inside diameter).
Understands the benefit of continuous fan operation during off periods for the compressor occurring when either the desired humidity is reached or the collection bucket is full.

Care of:
To clean washable filters - tap the filter lightly or use a vacuum cleaner to remove excess dirt. If the filter is particularly dirty, wash with warm water and small amount of gentle detergent. Allow to dry completely.
Replace active carbon filter about every 6 months (life span is variable and depends on the ambient conditions where the appliance is used).
The UV Light will last approximately 10,000 hours and cannot be replaced. However, with normal use light should last over 2 years.
Product Usage:
The fan runs continuously on this unit. The compressor only will turn off either when the bucket is full or when the set humidity has been reached. There is a two-fold benefit from the fan always running which is first, the humidistat will detect an increase in humidity gradually due to the constant flow of air from the room which will prevent the compressor from turning on pre-maturely. Second, the fan will both circulate the air throughout the room to enhance the mixing of the humidity in the air and also assist with the drying of any residual moisture inside the unit to prevent bacteria and mold. Finally, the concern over electricity used is minor since the fan running is similar to the wattage from a light bulb and it is the compressor that uses the majority of the electricity.
